Teething gels?

Have you ever used the teething gels that stores sell? DD cut two teeth, although one only has a corner that cut the gum, the rest still needs to pop through. There are times where they really seem to bother her and she does not seem interested in the teethers from the freezer. Are the gels safe? Do they actually help?

Re: Teething gels?

  • Here in italy teething gels are sold only in pharmacies and yes, they are very helpful, we went through many tubes of it with DS

  • We have baby oragel for teething and Hyland's teething tablets that we were given with a gift. Called our pedi and they said both were safe to use. The oragel is cherry flavored and doesn't taste bad at all, if only they made the adult kind like that! So far the teething tablets seem to work best but they both work. We put two tablets under DS's tongue or on it if he moves them around and they dissolve right away.

    We have Hylands teething gel and it helps immensely. We use the tablets from time to time but usually the gel works.

  • We have the Hyland's tablets, but honestly I was unimpressed with them.  We swear by amber teething necklaces.  I was skeptical before we used one, but I changed my tune!  DS was fine with teething (seriously it was like nothing was going on and then a new tooth would pop through), but then he hit the 1 year molars and holy moly!  It was a rough time.  Anyway, I picked up an amber necklace and it really seemed to make a difference. 

    I already have one for DD.  Not that we needed a new one, but I really wanted a yellow-ish one for her.  I don't know why, just because :)

    I have looking at these on amazon, can I ask you where you got yours?

    I actually picked mine up locally (it was an emergency!), but pretty sure it's Inspired by Finn.  DS wore it constantly for a loooong time and it's still in good shape so I would definitely recommend that brand as far as quality goes.
